I keep mine on the nightstand, ready for use, with the safety on. The phone and the alarm clock are on the far side of the room. I was once told (probably by someone who hates firearms but I really don't remember) to keep my pistols in the closet, cold and locked. Now, how on earth would that help me in the dark of the night, or even in the bright of day? Am I supposed to shush the bad guy/bad gal, tell him/her to wait a minute, then run for the closet? That's absurd! I think not!
The proper place for your gun when you sleep is on it's own pillow, not under yours. Didn't anyone see the sitcom "Sledge Hammer"???? :haha:

I've been sleeping with my firearm under my pillow for 18+years. A Baptist Deacon recommended this to me. He said the hammer can be pulled back without the intruder hearing it. As for the nightstand, the thought of being awoken and fumbling for my firearm and knocking it on the floor doesn't cut it. Now, if you are a violent sleeper a firearm within reach at all is not a good idea. :lazy2: Just my 2¢. Sleep safely y'all!
Mine stays on the bedstand, one in the tube and the safety on. Don't need to let the BG know exactly where I am and what I am doing by racking the slide.
That, and I snore sometimes and don't need a sleepless Mrs. Noids quieting me ballisticly!
